Re: Octet rule.
P-block elements starting at row 3 and below can have an expanded octet, meaning they can have more than 8 electrons in their outer shell.

Re: Octet rule.
H, He, Li, Be, B, and Al I believe will never have a full octet. Additionally, some elements like Si, P, S, and Cl can have expanded octets.
